Adele Sets Another Sales Record

25 continues to roll.

According to Billboard, Adele's new album sold 1.15 million copies in the week leading up to Christmas. This makes it the first album in history to sell more than a million copies in three separate weeks. (Nonconsecutive weeks, but still.) The pre-Christmas frame even exceeded the album's second week, during which 25 was purchased 1.11 million times.
